Leylin rang the doorbell next to the door, and a pleasant bell rang, followed by a rush of rhythmic footsteps.
"Hi! Who are you? Do you have an appointment?" A man with the appearance of a meticulous butler appeared in Leylin's sight.
"Leylin Farrell, come to pay a visit to the owner of this small building!" Leylin smiled.
The housekeeper's face was obviously distressed, "Sir, you know, my master Melfeller is a famous scholar, and the daily courses are very full, I'm afraid..."
At this moment, a girl who looked like a maid ran over quickly and whispered a few words next to the butler's ear.
The butler's face immediately changed color, and he bowed deeply: "Master, please go to the living room!"
Leylin smiled, restraining the mana fluctuations that were originally emitted.
After entering the small building, there is a corridor full of various artworks. Various oil paintings, specimens and other artworks are placed on the light yellow walls, which looks very comfortable.
All the way to the living room, here is a spacious big room.
The furnishings in the room are also very particular. Although there are no dazzling gold, silver and precious stones, it is full of a sense of history, giving people a feeling of low-key luxury.
Beside the fireplace in the living room, a crimson recliner stood upright, on which lay an old man with white eyebrows and beard.
The old man's face was all over the surroundings, and his eyes were also full of turbidity, but occasionally there were a few gleams of wisdom flashing through.
Seeing Leylin, the old man's eyes that were already half-closed lit up. He stood up and made a gesture of hugging: "Welcome, my young friend!"
Leylin went up and hugged the old man gently, "It's a great honor to meet you! This is a gift, I hope you like it!"
Anna then handed over the very beautiful and gorgeous fur hat to the butler.
"I like the nighthawk's tail feathers, it represents peace!" The old man waved his hand: "Lille, stand down and let me have a good talk with this friend!"
"You go down first too!" Leylin said to Anna on the side.
Several maids and the housekeeper went out after saluting, and closed the door for Leylin and the others. Soon, only Leylin and the old man were left in the spacious living room.
"Okay, let's re-introduce him! Melfeller, third-class apprentice! He has settled in Polar Night City for three years..." The old man's eyes revealed a look of nostalgia.
"So, how about you, a guest from afar?"
"Leylin Farrell, a second-class apprentice, is a wandering wizard. He just came to Polar Night City recently and intends to settle down for a few years." Leylin smiled, showing the etiquette between wizards.
"I can smell youth in you. It's quite a talent to be promoted to the second class at this age!" Melfiler praised.
"It's just a coincidence..." Leylin hurriedly humbled. Although the body of the old man in front of him was decayed, the movement of the third-class apprentice clearly told the master that he was not to be messed with.
"Chip, detect!"
"Melfeller Strength: 1.5 Dexterity: 1.4 Constitution: 2.9 Spirit: 8.5 Mana: 8 Status: Health Rating: Third Class Apprentice, more dangerous!"
The chip faithfully fed back the data to Leylin.
As a third-class apprentice who has wandered around for many years, the number of spells mastered by Melfeller is definitely far higher than that of Leylin, and there must be some cards in his body to save his life, which are very difficult to deal with.
However, Leylin came here today with good intentions. Judging from the general detection of the chip, there are not many wizard apprentices living in the entire Polar Night City, and this Melfield is the one with the strongest energy fluctuations. .
After a few polite words from the two of them, Leylin finally got to the point.
"That's right! I want to settle down in Polar Night City and open a medicine store. You know, all the procedures here are very troublesome, and I need a guarantee from a local..."
"So, you came to me?" Melfil smiled, and took a sip of the black tea on the table.
"To be honest, as a wizard who is interested in the truth, gold coins should not be tempting to us. Although I don't know why you have this idea, is it a moment of boredom? Or some other reason? But to me, it is indeed just a A little thing!"
"I just happen to have some friendship with the city lord of Extreme Night City. One of his sons is taking classes with me, and any city lord will not refuse the mysterious man's request... Regarding the settlement procedures in Extreme Night City, as well as the business license of the store It'll be down soon," Melfiler assured.
"Thank you so much!" Leylin nodded with a smile, "If there is anything you need from me in the future, please feel free to ask!"
The etiquette was impeccable, but both the old man and Leylin knew that this was just a polite remark.
Going through the settlement procedures and so on may be difficult for ordinary people, but for a famous university student like Melfiler, it is just a matter of a few words. Even Leylin can do things by himself, but Just take a little longer.
For Melfeller and Leylin, they just established a basic friendship with each other through this incident to facilitate their future contacts.
"Extreme Night City is a place of peace and tranquility. If you want a peaceful life, this place definitely meets your needs. I will introduce a few friends to you later, and there are also some customary practices, You need to abide by it... Don't worry, it's all conventional practices, such as not massacring civilians or something!"
"Of course I agree with this!" Leylin came to Extreme Night City mainly to avoid the influence of the war, so naturally he would not do anything out of the ordinary to attract attention.
Next, Leylin chatted with Melfeller about many wizarding topics, from how to stabilize spell models to promotion experience, and even talked about Melfeller's experience.
Although Melfeller was only a third-class apprentice, he had stayed at this stage for a long time and had a wealth of experience, which made Leylin feel that his trip was worthwhile.
At the same time, Leylin's huge knowledge base and exaggerated memory also repeatedly aroused Melfeller's amazement.
The two of them felt like they hadn't seen each other for too long. During the period, they had lunch together. It wasn't until nightfall that Melfil let Leylin go. Before parting, the two made an appointment for the next meeting. time.
"According to Melfeller, the wizards in Polar Night City are all apprentices, and he has been to the nearby market a few times. There are very few formal wizards, so it is more suitable for apprentices to survive!"
The news from today's inquiring made Leylin feel relieved, and his steps became much lighter.
"It's about the withering of vegetation. Melfeller doesn't know anything. After all, he is old and doesn't want to take risks..."
Dim yellow flames were lit on the lamp sockets on both sides of the street, allowing Leylin to still be able to see the road clearly.
Anna quietly followed behind Leylin. As an excellent maid, she clearly knew what she should do and never disturbed Leylin when he was thinking.
After Leylin deduced the next plan again, the two of them had already walked back to the hotel.
"Master!" "My lord!"
Old Walker, Goring, Fresa and Phelan greeted them.
Leylin nodded, "Come to my room after dinner, and I will tell you about the plans for many things in advance!"
Dinner was vegetable salad, mutton soup, and large slices of dry biscuits. By the time Leylin finished eating and asked Anna to clean up, several people had already entered Leylin's room.
Leylin sat on a chair with the back wrapped in animal skins, quietly listening to his subordinates' reports.
"Walker, how did you find out about the place of residence?"
"Master, old Walker has already contacted a knight who is going to move to Sag Province, and he is willing to sell you a small manor outside Polar Night City!" Old Walker came out and said, although he is an old man, he found The newcomer is full of energy and drive.
"Very good, how about the area? Can it accommodate us? What's the asking price?" Leylin continued to ask.
"Please rest assured, young master. Old Walker visited the manor this afternoon. The place is very large, and it is not a problem to accommodate a hundred people. Moreover, there is an oil palm grove, a fish pond, and a mill in the manor... Sir Vic was the general The manor was built according to the baron's standards, but I didn't expect it to change hands so soon, as for the price, Sir Vic offered 5,000 gold coins!"
"It's not too expensive, gold coins are not a problem!" Leylin crossed his hands and fingers. For wizards, worldly gold coins are completely dispensable. What they care about are magic stones, high-level materials, and many ancient documents. esoteric knowledge.
The high-level magic stone on Leylin's body can be exchanged for gold coins that far exceed this price, but Leylin is not prepared to do this. After all, magic stones are more precious. It's also a good idea to pay off the debt with potions.
"Very good! Take me to have a look tomorrow, and if the price and location are suitable, we can sign a contract!" Leylin nodded, and continued: "Also, you go shopping in the city. If production is reduced, there must be many small drug stores that cannot support it, and if they are going to close down, you should go and investigate first!"
"With all due respect, does the young master want to open a medicine store? The business license in this area is quite strict..." Fei Lun said on the side.
"You don't have to worry about this at all. I'm already working on it, and I can come down in a few days."
Hearing this, the expressions of Fei Lun and Old Walker visibly changed. It was so easy to guarantee that Leylin's noble status could be confirmed.
But in the Swamp Principality, aristocratic status represents progress and hope! ! !
Thinking of this, they looked at Leylin with eager eyes.
Fei Lun even clenched his fists quietly. As a rare visionary, he naturally knew that he would not be a mercenary for a few years, and most mercenaries would die painfully with injuries after a few happy years. If Master Leylin is willing to accept them as private soldiers, that is the safest way out for career change.
